Lightning opens Blaze's garage door and meets up with Tex in person (or in car)

"Tex! Hey I'm here! Hello.." Lightning does some searching for Tex, but he is no where to be found until..

"There he is!"

"Ey, Tex! Sorry about not notifying you earlier, but You are not going to believe all the good things happened these last few days! Getting new and better friends, about to make a new and better best friend, this one race I'm participating in today-"

"It's not gonna happen."

"Wait what? What'u say?"

"I'm not letting you race."

"What do you- what do you mean?"

*sigh* "It's  the best thing for you. Don't you realize who you are? The biggest disgrace racing has ever seen."

Lightning felt shocked at Tex's words

"Disgrace.. I'm not a disgrace.."

"Are you kidding? You don't think I know what you've done and tried to convince me you were innocent?"

"But I am innocent, Tex!"

"Shut it. Shut your mouth Lightning, this world doesn't have enough space for your existence."

"Why is everyone falsely accusing me of causing Cruz's crash?!"

"Because they found crash oil in your garage, Dummy."

"I didn't even know it was crash oil, Tex! The box said it was Rusteze medicated bumper ointment!"

Tex pulls off Lightning's number.

"Hey no! You can't do that!"

"I'm sorry. I knew how much you wanted to race today, I took your name off the 95 license. I can only race one car."

"And who is this "new car" you're talking about?!"

"Don't argue with me. Now, stay here, get some rest. I won't tell your friends what you've done just because I'm nice enough. You'll feel better about things in a few days."

Tex leaves and goes back to the Rusteze racing center.

Lightning exits the garage and looks depressed.

"Surprise! Huh? Wait a minute.. oh no.."

"They quit on me.. " Lightning says sighing after. "I was ready, I- I know I was.."

They both heard voice on the speaker.

"Fans, this is just in, we don't have all the information yet, but we do know, Lightning McQueen will not be racing today." everyone gasped
"Let me repeat, Lightning McQueen will not be racing today."

"M- McQueen'a not gonna race?" A young child car said in the audience

"They can't do that! Can they do that? What the.." Blaze said

Lightning looks behind him to see a random monster machine looking confused.

"Mr McQueen? I had no idea he was gonna do this, he out the number on me and it's yours, and there's no way I'm going to go out there-"

"Hey! You have to race.."

"What? No!" The racer turns to Gabby. "Take this number off of me!"

"Racer! You earned it, this is your chance. As a racer, you've gotta take every shot you get, because you never know.. when it will be your last."

"So.. you're okay with this?"

Lightning smiles in a reply. The racer smiles back to Lightning.

"Attention, would all racers please report to our road?" A voice on the speaker said. Lightning gestures for the racer to go onto the track.

"I- I'm not sure I can do it."

"You scared?"

"Yeah.."

"Use that." 

The racer drives to pit road and gets on the track. Lightning sighs in happiness.

"Lightning!" A child's voice said.

"Lightning!" The same kid's voice said

"We wanna see McQueen race!" An adult monster truck said

"Lightning! Lightning! Lightning!" The whole audience joined in and kept repeating Lightning's name.

"We want McQueen!" A voice said

"We love you, McQueen!" Another voice said

"Lightning McQueen!"

McQueen looked behind him to see all of his new friends.

"Blaze Aj, Darrington, Zeg, Stripes, Starla, Crusher, Pickle, you're all here!"

"It's a good thing you don't need a sponsor to race here, but the question is, are you ready to do a lil' racing?"

Lightning revved his engine

"Just watch me"

"Yahooooo!!!" All of his friends shouted

"Only minutes away from the start of this year's Annual Championship Race, I am the racing reporter. Oh, wait a minute, I'm getting word, Lightning McQueen may have found a way into this race, and it has something to do with his new friends!"

Lightning opens a garage door with reporters outside and Lightning has blue paint with the number 51.

"Racing fans, the 7th and final spot in today's race, running for the Blaze racing banner, joining and welcoming to Axel City, one of racing's all time greats, Lightning McQueen!"

The crown goes wild

"Lightning McQueen!!" A kid's voice shouts and the crowd goes more wild

"Get er done, 51, wahoo!" Lightning chuckles at Starla's comment.

They all make their way to the track where Lightning faces up to Crusher.

"Well, it's complete. You're as slow as he was, and now you even look like him. You gonna race like the old man too?"

"You know what? I hope I do."

Lightning makes his way to the back of the pack and sees Blaze.

"Hey, do me a favor."

"Show em how the old men role."
